Michelle was a good kid. She was a great cousin and a great friend. She was there foe you even when she was sick herself. She was loving and loved to text. She would never leave her phone, and that was one way to be sure to reach her. She loved beer pong and loved to be with her cousins and friends. It's hard without her but she is in a better place. God bless her soul and let us only think of the best of her. God took her out of this world when her time was ready, it will be hard for us it was all for the best.
Good bye MIchelle,
I love you.

Sorry for your loss I didn't know her but I saw her FaceBook "In Loving Memory" she looked so beautiful and happy so I guess that is the most important thing she had a great life with her family and friends.

Dear Family of Michelle,

I was pained to read of your love ones passing. Please take comfort in the scripture at Revelation 21:3,4 as I have...

(Revelation 21:3-4) With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

May God bless you and keep you all in his care...
Always...

I am saddened at the loss of Michelle. I remember so well the times she spent at
Grandpa's at Jellystone Park. When she was young she would bring all her dolls. Sometimes in a buggy, sometimes in a stroller and sometimes just in her arms, wrapped in a blanket.
It was hard remembering all their names.
